Need help again

[Cory281]

Hey guys, so a couple of months ago I bought a brand new GT. The dealer installed aftermarket wheels and said they installed the GT500 suspension. Now 3 months later my car is all chipped up, really bad(I'll post pics tomorrow) they are all along the bottom of the car and it's worse then my 01 GT was. Is this normal for my car to chip this easily? I took it back and they won't do anything for it.

Also I'm really starting to wonder if they really did put that suspension on the car, it seems like it rides pretty high. How can I check to be sure? I looked underneath and there are stickers on the springs with numbers on them, is there anyway I can look from that? I also found out that a guy came in with a Shelby with a aftermarket suspension package had them install it, then they took his old parts and put it on my car. I'm a little pissed off that I bought a brand new car with a used suspension on it. Don't you guys agree? What should I do?

Thanks for any help. :SNSign:

As far as I know, the Shelby GT has the lowered FRPP suspension and the GT500 has stock suspension, possibly with stiffer springs which is why it rides as high as stock. However, if anyone knows better....

As for used suspension, do you have any proof of that and what was the charge for it?

Can't help on the chipping I'm afraid without knowing about how you've used it etc.

I took the car in to get some gauges put in and I asked the tech that installed the suspension on the car and thats what he said.

Thanks.

GT-500 suspension is factory ride height. Why would you want it anyway, its a mismatch for the car because of the weight difference. As for the chips on paint I guess you drive on bad roads, I haven't seen these cars chip at all and in NY we got some bad roads. LOL

It wasn't my idea for them to put it on the car, they had already done it and it's a long story why I ended up with this one instead of the one I ordered. I got to excited when I got it that I didn't think about the GT500 being heavier and the suspension not working as good. But oh well.
